[QUOTE="RadioHowie, post: 739880, member: 426"] I, too, have encountered this scenario....like having to perform an emergency stop due to traffic, particularly in "rush hour". There I am, stuck in 4th or 5th, with the inability to downshift. But rather than roll the bike to line up the dogs, I normally ease the clutch out a little to get the gears spinning, then quickly downshift to the next gear. Repeat as necessary to get down to neutral or first. Just a little clutch engagement works just like rolling the bike, but a lot easier for someone with bad/unreliable knees. [/QUOTE]
